What is a Ruin Pub? Take an old building in disrepair slated for condemnation, let a few artist loose in it for a few days, add alcohol and you’ve got yourself a uniquely Hungarian establishment called a Ruin Pub. There are 15 to 20 of these such establishments that have popped up around Budapest starting […]

One of my favorite bars in the Pula area was called Safari Bar. It’s not easy to get to – we had to not only drive a good distance out of Pula, but also pay an entrance fee for the park that the bar is located in. Well worth it, I think. I kept finding small […]

On the Hunt for Pula’s Sea Cave After seeing some incredible photos on Instagram of a random sea cave in Croatia, we knew we had to find it. By scouring comments, talking to locals, and hunting on google maps, we figured out an approximate location and we went on the hunt… Part of me feels […]

An unexpected surprise in Coromandel After taking a wrong turn trying to get to the other side of the Coromandel Peninsula, we ended up on a gravel road through some low mountains. I was a bit worried that our camper van wouldn’t be able to make it. I was still getting comfortable with Frank, (we […]

The Cape Trib Beach House is literally located at the end of the road. The mountainous paved two land road up to the top of Queensland ends right at the entrance to The Beach House. We ended up here slightly by accident, we had booked an overnight Daintree Forest tour with a travel agent and […]

An interpretation of the old windmills in Amsterdam. I had a bit of fun shooting some of the old windmills around Amsterdam. One of my favorites happened to be at really great brewery. Brouwerij ‘t IJ to be exact. It’s a bit far away form the city center but it’s in a nice and quiet […]

While walking around Munich, Lauren asked me if I wanted to go see some surfers. I was a bit confused since Munich is miles away from any ocean and she clarified that there would be real, bonified surfers on surfboards in the water. I couldn’t turn it down. We walked over to the Eisbachwelle on the […]

The first thing we noticed while driving into Bosnia and Herzegovina is that the nice roads suddenly end. It was my first time going through an international border by car. We had to check out of Croatia, get a passport stamp, and drive a mile down the road to the Bosnian border for another […]

Sometimes you get lucky with a great Airbnb host, as was the case with our stay in Ancona, Italy. Our host Gregory was extremely friendly and welcoming, and the highlight of his generosity was when he invited us out to a night on the town with his friends to a wine festival in nearby Camerano. […]

All our host had to do was mention there were “sea caves” in Ancona and already our interested was peaked. When he added in that the caves were inhabited, and coveted by the people of Ancona, and we knew we had to see them. The sea caves (the Grotte del Passetto) were built into the […]

I think our favorite thing to do in Venice was just to wander the streets. Trying to navigate intentionally between two points would be impossible without google maps. But for some reason we were able to find our way around better by wandering. The canals cut through the city dicing up the island into a […]
